“He’s proven he can excel in storytelling, punchlines, poignancy, freestyling and, well, pretty much any other way you can measure an MC.”

Random, aka Raheem Jarbo of Philadelphia is probably best known for releasing “Mega Ran,” a video game tribute album that caught the attention of international game developer CAPCOM, who offered young Ran an unprecedented licensing agreement. He’s gone on to land viral fame with “Jeremy Lin Rap,” a track that reached ESPN, ABC and more, and has landed tracks on shows like Tosh.0, 20/20 and more.

Arguably the world’s most well known video-game influenced performance artist, the former teacher’s high-energy shows and fun, nerdy persona have led to world tours, festival and video game tournament performances, and a legion of smart art fans he calls “Team Mega.”

Ran continues to bend genre definitions and reality with each release, and the sky is the limit. Ran may have traded in the chalk for the microphone, but every song, every lyric, and every appearance is a lesson. School is in.
